Drone footage captures false killer whales hunting a shark [video]
Posted by Josh Taylor / May 12, 2016 droneswhales
There ain’t nothing false about the way this false killer whale takes down its prey. Watch this pod of false killer whales hunt down a shark by chasing it until it’s tired and then kill the shark.
Full story at YouTube.
Those are dolphins not killer whales
You are correct ,arent killer whales black and white ,someones got their wires crossed,so don’t beleive everyting someone tells you,
those arent killer whales and i doubt thats a shark….looks like dolphins chasing a fish of some sort……..
Yep. Dolphins.
They are FALSE killer whales.
Your right they aren’t killer whales, they are FALSE killer whales. Which are grey… read carefully people
Perhaps the shark they put back into the water will swim along the beach and eat a couple of kids.
Prey not pray.
Fellow Smart guys (Andre, John, Steve and who-knows-who else): The false killer whale is the third-largest member of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae) and Sharks are fish. This article is correct.

Please learn something about the topic at hand before commenting folks.
1) They are FALSE killer whales (just as the title says – Andre, John, Steve, Zach)
2) Yes, false killer whales are indeed a species of dolphin
3) Killer whales are also dolphins (everyone)
It says “false” killer whales you bunch of idjit trolls.
False Killer Whales are not black and white like Killer Whales are, they are a different species.
this type of dolphin is called False Killer Whale
they say in the video : False Killer Whales: whats the arguememnt about?
it does say false killer whales
They’re called “FALSE” Killer Whales. They’re not the same as Killer Whales. They look similar. They’re definitely not dolphins.
pleaze currect my spilling
False Killer Whales. Dur.
Come on guys, read the story again and hit The Google…. The story did not say these were Killer Whales… It said they are False Killer Whales which is completely different and yes, a part of the Dolphin family. They are name so because they share similarities with the Killer Whale, nothing more.
Well, it looks like a shark, but those are not killer whales. Heck even “Killer Whales” are not whales. Normal people refer to “killer whales” as Orcas, the largest of the porpoise family.
They are FALSE Killer Whales…totally different physical appearance than the more commonly known ORCA.
I love how Google makes everyone an instant marine biologist.
you all sound like a bunch of DOUCH BAGS
I pray that you get a writer and an editor that know how to spell “prey”.
Those are just small fish chasing a guppy.
Killer Whales are actually dolphins
“PRAY” is actually spelled “PREY”…perhaps an editor for your site? Might increase views? That and a quick google search on what a killer whale (Orca) looks like…
Are you saying Killer Whales “pray” for their “prey” before they eat?
When I was a kid in Hawaii 1970-1973, False Killer Whales were the stars of the show at Sea Life Park.
The report is a bit sensationalized. “The hunter becoming the hunted!” Some fish eat other fish. Many sharks are scavengers, not hunters.
Those are adult dolphins who are protecting a dolphin pup by chasing and eliminating a hammerhead shark who is out to kill their offspring. This is perfectly natural survival behavior that can be observed in any species. Dolphins don’t bite sharks but punch the shark’s belly with their pointed snout (beak) until it succumbs and drowns. This natural dolphin behavior has reportedly saved many sailor’s lives who appear to be “mistaken” by adult dolphins for dolphin pups or perhaps “relatives” in need.
OK, wrong shark, completely chasing the wrong shark. Will somebody please take the “Shark” Vacuum Infomercial Dude and throw him to these Killer Whales? Enough of the vacuum infomercials for God’s sake.
They are False Killer Whales, not Dolphins
What the heck is a false killer whale?
